Christmas Gift Guide: Nicki's Fave Things
So my husband’s love language is NOT gifts. The holidays stress him out because he says, “I want to get what you like, just tell me what you want and I’ll get it!” I mean that KIND OF defeats the purpose of gift giving, but hey, I also like the idea of getting what I’d pick out for myself haha. Around this time of year I start collecting ideas of things I’d like, then he can pick out anything on the list! I thought I’d put together a gift guide to share with you because if I like these things, you probably will too! I already have some of these but they would all make excellent gifts. They’d be great for yourself or anyone you’re shopping for!
No. 1 - Holmegaard® Bouquet Wine Glasses
I’m in the market for a new set of wine glasses. The truth is, they break every now and then and eventually you end up with a cabinet full of mismatched, different size wine glasses. I like a bigger wine glass and love these!
No. 2 - Rosewood Lip Trio
I love this lip product set! This color looks good on everyone, seriously. It comes with a gloss, a sheer lipstick and a more intense color lipstick, plus it comes in a pretty little gift box. Done and done.
No. 3 - Bose SoundLink Revolve+ Speaker
We already have this speaker and use it EVERYDAY! I keep it plugged in near the door to the porch and carry it outside whenever we spend any time out there. It’s unusual if I’m NOT playing music, so having a portable speaker is a must. I decided on this instead of wired outdoor speakers since I can move it wherever we are sitting and the sound quality is great!
No. 4 - Stud Bow Flip Flops
Need an easy, inexpensive gift? Pick up these super cute flip flops. They’re designer inspired, go with everything and are a crowd pleaser.
No. 5 - Revlon Blow Dry Brush
I bought this thing a few months ago and love it. It’s like an all-in-one blow dryer, brush, styler, everything. It gives my hair volume and helps to style it so I don’t have to use a straightener or curling iron after the blow dry. It gives me that fresh blow-out look so quickly and easily! GET IT.
No. 6 - Barefoot Dreams Blanket
I see everyone talking about this blanket all over the internet and I have to admit, I feel like I need it. It’s def an extravagant gift, but hey, you or someone you know might deserve it!
No. 7 - The Jellies
This little gift set of lip glosses is just adorable. You can keep them all for yourself or use them as stocking stuffers! Plus, the fact that these are safe is so reassuring when you want to give one to your kids!
No. 8 - Make-Up Travel Bag
I def want this baby. You can customize the inside to different size compartments. It has a place for your brushes, for everything. The hardest decision is picking which color! I like the mini black & white stripe, the plain black and the marble!
No. 9 - Eyeshadow Palette
I’m just gonna quote the product description because it’s so good… The perfect beauty companion, this versatile palette features nine long-wearing shades that transition effortlessly from day to night. Velvety, richly pigmented neutrals surround our brilliant game-changer: a sparkling jeweled shade that instantly elevates any look.
No. 10 - Keurig
Guys, I may have set a world record because I have my ORIGINAL Keurig! I’m probably poisoning myself with mold exposure because it’s so old, but it has kept working so I’ve kept it. I’m thinking this could be the year I make a switch to a new one! I love the colors it comes in, especially that brushed gold!
No. 11 - Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree
I’ve had a few real trees in my dining room but I always end up moving them outside because I either neglect them or they just don’t like it inside. I think it’s time to get a faux tree for that spot and I love this one! You also need to buy the basket because yeah, it’s cute.
No. 12 - Bose Headphones
My friend has a pair of these and when we have traveled together I’ve been so jealous. I want to use these with my Peloton so the cord isn’t dangling around as well as for traveling. They’re not inexpensive so I haven’t purchased them for myself yet. They’d make a really nice, quality gift!
No. 13 - Wrap Bracelet
I have a few of these wrap bracelets and love them. They come in so many color combinations and lengths and are so pretty. I usually wear one on the same wrist as my apple watch and I always get compliments!
No. 14 - Agate Coasters
I really don’t need any new coasters since I have more than a few sets… why do I always buy coasters at Homegoods, TJ Maxx or Bealls Outlet?! However, these are just so so pretty. I think I need them.
